Winter Projects and General Goings-on

[cherokee-at-16]

Home from school for the next two weeks and not working. So I'm about to limp my jeep into the other driveway and see about fixing this beautiful mess...

WOWZER. That blows big ones.

Good luck, Might be better off just fabricating a new one.

So far, it's been mostly occupied with work. Jeep wise, I got the new leaf's going in next week for the XJ, small maintenance with the ZJ. Shooting for some more progress on both around tax return time.

This was my winter project but as I tore it down I realized I really don't like the shaft drive, tank, head is fucked and the general angle is terrible. Going to sell it or part it out.


Did buy this for $500. Cleaned and jetted the carbs, new battery, put bar end mirrors on, frame sliders, spools and am ordering tires, chain, sprockets, and pipe for it this week. Was going to street fighter it but figure my wife can ride it so I'll leave it alone for now.

CSAddict. You ride that thing around yet? I was actually thinking about buying one like a year back. Heard they're pretty quick without being like super fast and they ride pretty smooth/cruise nice.

Any opinions?

I have an 07 sv650, great bike. Just as you describe, quick, fast and nimble without over doing it.

I have too many things.
Aside from everyone else's vehicles I'm working on I need to start building my cage.
I also need to do ball joints, build a traction bar and swap my leafs.
I'm also on the hunt for a new trailer. I had actually found the perfect one and had made arrangements to get it this Sunday but the guy sold it before I could get there.

No not yet. I wheelied it up the driveway and had to clutch it up. These bikes are known for their smooth power delivery. They don't have that 7k rpm power band. My last bike as a GSXR1000 so this may feel a bit slow I would think but its more than enough to bomb around on. Plus its a great beginner biker for my wife. I would hate for her to dump my KZ I just finished. If she dumps the SV I'm not going to cry.

Same thing we do every winter, Pinky...

I have to redeck the trailer I bought and then stare at it until I have a truck to tow it with and a jeep worth putting on it

My projects keep getting put on hold by unreliable shippers damn it.
